Organic Mattress Rec's?

[shockels]

My 2.5 yo needs a new bed. I'm considering getting an organic matress rather than your standard box store brand. But the choices on-line are massive and bewildering! Anyone already done the research and/or have positive/negative reviews? I want to get her a twin sized mattress which is what she's already using.


TIA!

When it was time to get a new kid bed, I went through the same thing. We decided on a futon mattress made with organic wool wrapped over traditional cotton. Wool is naturally fire retardant so they don't have to put all those nasty chemicals into it and I think they use borax for that too which is fairly non-toxic. It can also be re-stuffed when the time comes. The other choices were way way too spendy for us. We use it on a standard bed with a slatted bed base.

Nadine.... too funny that a PDX'er answered this here! Where did you get your futon? Someplace local or on line?

I thought you were a PDXer!

We got it at Cotton Cloud and even used our chinook book coupon
